Definitions

  • This invention relates in general terms to motorised locking devices, such as steering locks, for motor vehicles.
  • motorised locking devices such as steering locks
  • locking devices which include a displaceable bolt, with means whereby the course of travel of the bolt can be limited.
  • the invention is concerned with a motorised locking device, or steering lock, for immobilising the steering of a motor vehicle having a steering column that includes a transmission shaft which is formed with recesses.
  • the steering lock prevents rotation of the transmission shaft.
  • the particular type of steering lock referred to is one in which the bolt is arranged for sliding movement between a lower position which is a locking position, and an upper position which is an unlocked position.
  • the bolt In the locking position the bolt is received at least partially in a recess of the steering column transmission shaft so as to immobilise the latter against rotation about its axis.
  • the bolt In the unlocked position of the bolt, the bolt is disengaged from the recesses.
  • the locking device is further of the type in which the bolt is actuated by an electric motor through a threaded drive rod which is parallel to the direction of sliding movement of the bolt, and on which a threaded control slider is mounted, the slider being immobilised against rotation about the axis of the drive rod, so that rotational movement of the drive rod causes the slider to be displaced in straight-line movement along the axis of the drive rod.
  • the locking device is, still further, of the type in which the slider is arranged to cooperate with either a locking abutment or an unlocking abutment of the bolt, in order to displace the bolt towards its locked position and its unlocked position, respectively.
  • the locked and unlocked positions of the bolt are generally determined by simply stopping the electric motor that rotates the drive rod.
  • This may for example be achieved by the provision of interrupters which are actuated, for example, by a cam which is coupled to the bolt, and which transmits pulses to an electronic circuit for controlling the motor. This circuit then cuts off the power supply to the motor.
  • An object of the invention is to provide a design for a locking device of the type described above, in which the position in which the bolt has stopped can be controlled with sufficient precision to ensure, with absolute certainty, that this position lies within a very narrow predetermined range.
  • a motorised locking device for immobilising a motor vehicle steering column against rotation, the steering column including a transmission shaft having recesses, the locking device being of the type in which: a bolt is arranged to slide between a lower, locked, position in which it is received at least partially in a recess of the said shaft so as to immobilise the latter against rotation about its axis, and an upper, unlocked, position in which it is disengaged from the recesses; displacement of the bolt is effected by an electric motor through an interposed threaded drive rod which is oriented parallel to the direction of sliding movement of the bolt; a control slider, having an actuating thread, is mounted on the threaded drive rod, the said slider being immobilised against rotation so that rotation of the drive rod causes the slider to perform a straight-line movement along the axis of the drive rod; and the slider is adapted to cooperate with a locking abutment or an unlocking abutment of the bolt, so as to displace the bolt towards its locked and unlocked
  • the locking device further includes means which, when the slider is in its first end position, urge the slider resiliently into axial engagement against the threaded portion of the drive rod.
  • the threaded portion of the drive rod is disposed below the portion of the latter having the reduced diameter
  • the disengaged position of the slider corresponds to the unlocked position of the bolt
  • a compression spring is arranged between the upper face of the bolt and a radial collar, this collar being arranged on the drive rod above the said portion of reduced diameter of the latter, so that the compression spring urges the lower end of the actuating thread of the slider resiliently into axial abutment against the upper end of the threaded portion of the drive rod.
  • a resiliently deformable element is preferably interposed between the slider and the locking abutment of the bolt, this resiliently deformable element being deformed resiliently when the slider is driven towards its end position corresponding to the locking position of the bolt with the bolt out of register with the recesses in the steering shaft.
  • the said resiliently deformable element then urges the bolt into its locking position within a recess when the transmission shaft of the steering column is rotated about its axis so as to bring one of the said recesses in the transmission shaft into register with the bolt.
  • the bolt is formed with a window which is defined between an upper plate element and a lower plate element of the bolt, the said plate elements extending at right angles to the direction of displacement of the bolt, each said plate element having a hole receiving the threaded drive rod, the slider being received between the upper plate element and the lower plate element so that the lower face of the upper plate element and the upper face of the lower plate element, these faces being in facing relationship with each other, constitute the unlocking abutment and the locking abutment respectively of the bolt in cooperation with the upper and lower faces, respectively, of the slider, a compression spring being disposed between the lower plate element of the bolt and the lower face of the slider.
  • the drive rod is preferably mounted coaxially at the end of the output shaft of the motor, the motor being arranged above the bolt.
  • FIG. 1 consists of three parts, namely FIGS. 1A, 1B and 1C. Each of these is a diagrammatic view showing the main components of the locking device in accordance with the invention which is to be described.
  • FIG. 1A shows the locking device in an unlocked position in which the bolt of the device is in its unlocked or disengaged position.
  • FIG. 1B shows the bolt in an intermediate or prelocking position.
  • FIG. 1C shows the bolt in a locked position.
  • FIG. 2 is a perspective view showing the threaded drive rod in the locking device of FIG. 1.
  • FIG. 3 is a perspective view of the bolt of the locking device shown in FIG. 1.
  • FIG. 4 is a view in longitudinal cross section, on an enlarged scale, showing a detail of FIG. 1 and illustrating the disengaged position of the slider when the bolt is in its unlocked position.
  • FIG. 10 show a motor vehicle steering lock in the form of a locking device 10, which is simplified in the drawings in the interests of clarity in illustrating the present invention.
  • the locking device 10 includes a bolt 12 which is adapted to slide longitudinally between an upper position shown in FIG. 1A, or unlocked position, and a locked or lower position shown in FIG. 1C.
  • the bottom end 14 of the bolt 12 is received in a recess 15 formed in the side surface 17 of a steering or transmission shaft 16 of the steering column, so as to prevent any rotation of the steering shaft 16 about its axis (not shown).
  • the axis of the steering shaft 16 is oblique with respect to the longitudinal direction in which the bolt 12 slides.
  • the locking device 10 is of the motorised type, and to this end it includes an electric motor 18 which, in the embodiment shown in the drawings, is arranged above the bolt 12.
  • the motor 18 has a motor shaft 20 defining an axis A1, which is disposed longitudinally and parallel to the axis along which the bolt 12 is displaced.
  • Guide means (not shown) for the bolt 12 are also provided. These guide means generally take the form of a housing which is fixed to a fixed element, again not shown, of the structure of the vehicle.
  • the motor shaft 20 of the motor 18 is extended longitudinally downwards, towards the steering shaft 16, by a drive rod 22 which includes a threaded portion 24, on which a slider 26 is mounted.
  • the slider 26 has an internal drive or actuating thread 28, which can be seen in FIG. 4 in particular.
  • the bolt 12 has a transverse window or notch 30 which extends longitudinally between two integral transverse plate elements of the bolt, namely an upper plate element 32 and a lower plate element 34.
  • the window 30 is open laterally in three directions at right angles to the longitudinal direction of sliding movement of the bolt 12.
  • the window 30 defines a vertical longitudinal face 36 between the upper plate element 32 and the lower plate element 34, within the bolt 12.
  • the window 30 is so designed as to enable the slider 26 to be displaced in relative displacement in the longitudinal direction with respect to the bolt 12.
  • the disposition of the threaded drive rod 22 has been so chosen that the rod 22 extends through a longitudinal aperture 38 formed through the upper plate element 32 of the bolt, with the drive rod 22 extending longitudinally into the window 30.
  • the lower plate element 34 of the bolt has a longitudinal blind hole 40, in which the free lower end portion 42 of the threaded drive rod 22 is received when the bolt 12 is in its unlocked position shown in FIG. 1A.
  • the internal thread 28 of the slider 26 only extends over an upper portion of the slider 26, and it is extended axially downwardly by a smooth bore 44 having an enlarged diameter, through which the lower end portion 42 of the threaded drive rod 22 passes.
  • the slider 26 has a side face 46 which is arranged facing towards the longitudinal face 36 of the window 30, and which is in engagement against the face 36, so that the bolt 12 prevents the slider 26 from rotating about the axis A1 of the threaded drive rod 22.
  • the threaded drive rod 22 is driven in rotation about its axis by the motor 18, the slider 26 is caused to move in longitudinal straight-line motion, the direction of which depends on the direction of rotation of the motor 18.
  • the slider 16 causes the bolt 12 to be displaced between its locked and unlocked positions.
  • the slider 26 when the slider 26 is displaced axially upwardly, with respect to the threaded drive rod 22, it comes into engagement, through its top face 48, against the bottom face 50 of the upper plate element 32 of the bolt 12. In this way, the slider carries the bolt 12 with it.
  • the bottom face 52 of the slider 26 comes into contact with the top face 54 of the lower plate element 34 of the bolt 12.
  • the top plate element 32 with its bottom face 50 constitutes an unlocking abutment for the bolt 12 in cooperation with the top face 48 of the slider 26.
  • the lower plate element 34 with its top face 54 (which is in facing relationship with the bottom face 50 of the top plate element 32) constitutes a locking abutment for the bolt 12, in cooperation with the lower face 53 of the slider 26.
  • a compression spring 53 is arranged between the base 45 of the bore 44 in the slider 26, and the top face 54 of the lower plate element 34 of the bolt 12. In this way, when the slider 26 is put into axial downward motion, it drives the bolt 12 with it towards the locked position of the latter.
  • the bottom end 14 of the bolt 12 is not in register, i.e. in facing relationship, with any of the recesses 15 in the steering shaft 16, then when the slider 26 is displaced axially downwards, the lower end 14 of the bolt 12 engages against the side face 17 of the steering shaft 16, and is unable to continue its course of travel. This situation is shown in FIG. 1B.
  • the slider 26 is preferably made to be able to continue its downward displacement due to the interposed compression spring 53, as far as its position that corresponds to the normal locked position of the bolt 12, the spring 53 becoming compressed during this continued displacement of the slider.
  • the steering shaft 16 then only needs to be rotated about its axis until one of the recesses 15 comes into facing relationship with the free end 14 of the bolt 12, for the latter to be urged by the compression spring 53 into the recess 15, thus immobilising the steering shaft 16 against rotation. This position is shown in FIG. 1C.
  • the threaded portion 24 of the drive rod is extended at its upper end by a smooth portion 56, the diameter of which is less than the inside diameter of the internal thread 28 in the slider 26.
  • the internal thread 28 then lies in radial facing relationship with the smooth upper portion 56, of reduced diameter, of the drive rod 22, so that there can no longer be any meshing between the drive rod 22 and the slider 26.
  • the motor 18 is energised for any longer in the direction which would tend to cause the slider 26 to be moved upwards, this further upward movement will not in fact happen because the slider thread 28 and rod thread 24 are now disengaged from each other, the thread 28 being merely in axial engagement against the top end 60 of the thread of the threaded portion 24.
  • a compression spring 62 is interposed between the top face 64 of the bolt 12 and a radial collar 66, which is formed on the drive rod 22 above the smooth portion 56 of the latter having a reduced diameter.
  • the two compression springs 53 and 62 which are interposed between the bolt 12 on the one hand and the slider 26 and radial collar 66 on the other, therefore both have the effect of exerting a downward axial thrust on the bolt 12. This is of particular advantage in the situation shown in FIG. 1B, in which the bolt 12 is not in register with any recess 15 in the steering shaft. In this connection, the combined action of these two springs ensures rapid engagement of the lower end 14 of the bolt 12 in an appropriate recess 15 once the latter comes into register with the bolt 12.
  • the locked position of the bolt 12 shown in FIG. 1C is determined by the engagement of the lower axial end 14 of the bolt 12 against the base of the recess 15.
  • the bolt when the bolt is in its locked position, there is a clearance between the lower face 50 of the upper plate element 32 of the bolt 12 and the upper face 48 of the slider 26.
  • this locked position of the bolt 12 is determined by the position of the slider 26, in which case it is necessary to provide deeper recesses 15 in the steering shaft 16.
  • the two compression springs 53 and 62 then combine their actions so as to urge the upper plate portion 32 of the bolt 12 against the upper face 48 of the slider 26.
  • the lower position of the slider 26, and therefore the locked position of the bolt 12 can be determined by providing an arrangement similar to that described for determining the disengaged upper position of the slider 26.
